Superconformal Field Theory on Threebranes at a Calabi-Yau Singularity
read the original abstract
Just as parallel threebranes on a smooth manifold are related to string theory on $AdS_5\times {\bf S}^5$, parallel threebranes near a conical singularity are related to string theory on $AdS_5\times X_5$, for a suitable $X_5$. For the example of the conifold singularity, for which $X_5=(SU(2)\times SU(2))/U(1)$, we argue that string theory on $AdS_5\times X_5$ can be described by a certain ${\cal N}=1$ supersymmetric gauge theory which we describe in detail.

Probing black holes with equivariant localization
Equivariant localization computes probe D3-brane actions in uplifted Kerr-Newman-AdS5 supergravity backgrounds, reducing them to toric-data integrals for SCFT indices.

Chaos of Berry curvature for BPS microstates
Berry curvature of BPS states is random-matrix-like for supersymmetric black hole microstates but non-random and often zero for horizonless geometries, offering a chaos diagnostic in degenerate sectors.
